However, the weather has been great with no late season freezes so we are expecting a nice crop again this year. We are adding some interesting vendors this year. Something for the

Or the Joy of Owning Sheep & Goats Rye Grass for the Goats Our local Extension Agent, Jed Dillard, has been urging me to overseed pastures for several years. I finally listened and gave it a try last November. It has been a cool and wet time since spreading the seed but I did exactly
